“I’m not attached to it, although I did have a preliminary round of conversations with them. I am interested in doing it. There are a lot of great stories to tell there. It is up to them. I don’t know really where they are in the stages of development. If I get the opportunity, great, otherwise some else will do it, and we can all see some more Judge Dredd. I did read the comics when I was a kid, as I teenager I read Judge Dredd a lot.“

Aside from that, Urban also offered this intriguing description of what fans can expect to see from Mega-City One upon its release:

“Their idea for Mega-City One is was basically to build the show around more rookie judges and young, new judges and Dredd would come in and out and I said that I’ll do it, but it has to be done in a meaningful way. I can’t just come on and grunt and pull faces, there has to be a story there for him. There has to be a kind of little arc and a story we are trying to tell. So, we will see what they do.“

Personally I really hope this show works out. Urban was a fantastic Dredd and his presence would definitely do a lot to immediately get fans excited to check out the show when it comes out. Plus, this is just me speculating here, but what if they were somehow able to talk Alex Garland into returning to direct one or two episodes at some point? After his one-two combo of directorial efforts in Ex Machina and Annihilation, having Garland involved somehow could also draw in some additional interest.

Revenge of the Fans is a nerd-leaning news, analysis, and enjoyment project. The site was started in early 2018, in the dark days before anyone on the Internet had anything to say about comic book movies or pop culture. The site was the idea of Mario Francisco Robles, a man with his finger on the pulse of the comic book movie industry, and Jon, a person who we aren’t completely sure isn’t a figment of Mario’s imagination.
